The Nigerian Supreme Court is set to hear a motion on October 31, seeking to enforce an order that disqualified the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Hope Uzodimma, from participating in Imo state’s governorship elections in 2019.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Action Peoples Party (APP) are asking the court to enforce the 2020 judgement that disqualified Uche Nwosu, then APC candidate, from contesting the polls after he was found to have been chosen by two political parties, APC and Action Alliance (AA).
The PDP claims that the court cannot accept Uzodimma as the APC governorship candidate after disqualifying him. The main opposition party is requesting the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return for Uzodimma and issue a new one to Emeka Ihedioha.
